Dating back to the 14th century, this interior decoration is a testament to the rich heritage and architectural marvels left behind by Arabian conquerors on the Iberian Peninsula. The image was captured in 1907 by an unknown photographer and later featured as color plate 5 in Albert F. Calvert's renowned book "The Alhambra: being a brief record of the Arabian conquest of the Peninsula with a particular account of Mohammedan architecture and decoration". The intricate design showcased here reflects Hispano-Arabic influences, characterized by geometric patterns that are both mesmerizing and harmonious. Bathed in golden hues, this decorative element exudes elegance and grandeur while serving as a visual representation of Islamic artistry.
